You ever try Lexapro? Lexapro has virtually no side-effects. It is always easier to find another job while you are still working. Other employers are always glad to steal a good employee from someone else rather than take a chance on someone who isn't working.

Some big trash outfit is always hiring here in Denver. They are union and pay about $17/hour to start. Waste Mngmt is here and I can't remember the outfit with the blue trucks right across the street from my job, but they are always hiring. If you have a Class-A CDL they are still hiring OTR semi drivers at my job too.

Unemployment here in Denver is only about 5%, which is much better that Detroit, where it is 30%. There are plenty of AA/NA meetings here too, just in case. It is time to start looking at other options just in-case.

Maybe try the 7 mg nicotine patches and try to get back off!!! You can always cut them in half.

Shit happens. That's just life.Why sweat the small stuff. And remember it is all small stuff.I am also in the same boat as you are in regards to my job. Sixty guys laid off in the last two months.Frieght is so slow I don.t know if my company can survive until things pick up. If not 40,000 more people will be on unemployment. Bright side I can get retrained to do something else. All changes is a opportunity for growth.

I seem to forget the 72hr. rule sometimes...(that is, put any unsolvable problem on hold and revisit said problem in 72hrs. time). I am really amazed how many problems that work themselves out or become clear with absolutely no effort or worry on my part...!!!
